"This story does not just ignore questions, it cuts them stone dead. There is no arguing with a spooky objet trouve; it either haunts you or it doesn't. Mrs. Sparks has learned a lot about the cinema, it seems, from her time in Rome. Not only Hitchcock's suspense, but Antonioni's randomness decorate the gristly plot...But no doubt it is a technical triumph to write a brief novel as irritating as a very long film."Muriel Spark is the author of 'The Driver's Seat (New Directions Bibelot)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780811212717 and ISBN 0811212718.
